no timing adjusters will not hurt your car as long as you do not go crazy with adjusting the timing.

I found that 15 degrees advance works great for me with 92-93 octane- Anything over gave me some knock-

Am I the only one who's TA never worked? Mine always caused the knock sensor to back off timing a ton. I replaced the sensor in the stock position and now the car runs stronger...

UPR will work with any pulleys except Steeda pulleys and Steeda TA will work with only Steeda pulleys--or so I've been told.

I had the same problem! My car oinged like nuts even when I set the timing adjuster on stock timing. When I removed it it ran fine again.
